Everyone's ok with us calling this a skirt, right? We all know we are talking about the untucked shirt, and that it's not really a skirt.
When I was typing my reply, i started using the term as shorthand. Then I started thinking I would get a little grief for it. Like using the term footstand... |

Thanks for the tips. The option 1 is the belt portion of the skirt with the skirt cut off.
I think the kwinn/stone lower torso is too long for that upper torso. The lower torso for DATD Flint has buttons and the middle stripe is thinner than the Dusty torso, but it may fit the upper torso pretty well.

Here is the belt painted brown:
I guess it's OK, but it does ride a little high.

Here is a pic showing the different torsos. I used the flash to try and show the buttons.
I'm not sure the DATD lower torso will work.

Left pic shows the sculpted belt that would me exposed if the skirt were cut off. Right is a MTF belt that come in this week for testing out different apps (just like this). The pouches make the belt deeper to somewhat hide the waist trench and sculpted belt. This was a quick test, and can be further tweaked for better results, if going forward with this torso.
The bigger issue is the the torso is kinda short. Bandolier hitting belt is what alerted me. Line him up with other figures (Flint, Scarlett, SnakeEyes, Roadblock) to verify. The Flint arms are already a bit too long on his own torso. But these things can be tweaked as well (keep the arms bent and back, move this figure front and close to camera). I'd still like to see this build completed by 46Z. Bring him home! |

I'm not sure it can work either! But I sure would like to take a shot at it someday. If torsos actually fit (a big big if), buttons can be sanded, then we can figure a fix on the middle band (minor sanding or sculpting). The diagonal bandolier would help disguise the transition, and maybe cover parts of the problem area.

Here is what I came up with:
I took the cut off skirt piece and cut a strip out of it to fit in the groove. I glued it down and tried to match up the edge with the middle stripe. I added green stuff to fill the upper gap and will paint tomorrow.

Yes this brown belt is a great improvement. I think that hisstank driver/ major bludd BELT might also look decent if done right (like behind it painted the right colors OR add-ons or molding putty or both used and attached, etc..) Dont worry if his pants seem hiked up slightly high. I always saw him as an slightly older gentlemen of command. sorta like portrayed in the cartoons, so anyways his slightly hiked up pants realistically makes sense. well at least in my universe lol.
Also, in my opinion i don't mind the bondaler touching the belt on the side. it was portrayed every which way to sunday between the comics, cartoons, and other more current media. Also I have to point out that i love that you got he undershirt green! most customizers still manage to miss that one. Anyways looking great! Would LOVE to see all future examples with the bandolier on to get the full effect and get a better idea!
